We celebrate a number of various holidays throughout the calendar year.

Officially enacted on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Constitution week was petitioned by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

But it would be many decades before the actual observance of that great piece of documentation took place.

In 2002, President George W. Bush declared the inception of the holiday with the purpose of promoting, studying and educating the general public about the constitution, which was adopted by the American people on Sept. 17, 1787.
